Hi first question, does the Technics SL-DZ1200

SOURCE: How do I change belt on a Technics linear SL -H350 turntable

above video should help. if your platter is "stuck" then call them for tips. also make sure it does NOT say "direct drive" on the front of the unit.

presuming you are talking about the SL-H350 as in the body not the SL-DZ1200 as in the title

SOURCE: records alone and auto cue

this should help....follow instructions i just done mine with a 64mb nokia micro sd card from ebay (£3)

You can down load the user manual and the service manual from here
You have to register to download them, but they are for free!! Good luck, happy to answer any questions you may have.

SOURCE: My Technics SL-DZ1200 will not play certain MP3

I believe it can only read certain bitrates. I noticed that if I run the track error files through audacity and re-save as an mp3 with 192 kbps encoding it plays fine. Give it a try - re-encoding.

There's a rubber belt or O ring that broke. I couldn't find one at Technics, so I took the old parts to the hardware store and found an O ring in plumbing parts that was very close. Been working for years just fine!
